Trinity Beats Dallas Saturday Night

Irving, Texas - Trinity's women's basketball team capped a road weekend with a 72-66 victory over the University of Dallas on Saturday night.

Trinity (15-7) opened the game with a 22-9 run on its way to a 35-23 halftime advantage.  Dallas was able to cut the lead to just five points with 5:57 to play, but the Tigers never let them get any closer - despite scoring just three points over the final 4:37 of the game.

The Tigers held Dallas to just 31% shooting in the first half, but the Crusaders shot an impressive 57.7% in the second half.  Trinity, however, shot even better than that, hitting 60.9% from the floor.

Krista Prato Matthews scored her sixth double-double in the last seven games with 15 points and 13 rebounds for the Tigers.  Meghan Scholbe led the team with 19 points on 8-12 shooting, also collecting six boards and three steals.

Kate Dawson and Tierney Hughes added 10 points each for Trinity, and Dawson handed out nine assists to tie the team's season-high and her personal career high.

Kristy Malone led Dallas with 21 points to go with seven rebounds.  Malone also added six assists and five steals in her 39 minutes of action.  Ana Castillo finished with 13 points and 11 boards for a double-double, hitting 5-9 from the field.
